If you’re a Bitbucket Data Center app developer, use this page to keep track of upcoming changes, deprecation notices, new features, and feature updates.
In Bitbucket Data Center, we have moved the communication about releases and updates from the Atlassian Developer Community here. With this transition, we aim to provide partners and developers with a single, customizable feed of improvements and changes to our products.
We hope you will continue using the Atlassian Developer Community for discussion and support.
To continue getting updates about new Bitbucket Data Center releases, check out Bitbucket release notes.
We will continue posting updates to the Bitbucket Data Center category of the Atlassian Developer community. Subscribe to the category to stay tuned.
Upgrade to Bitbucket Data Center 9.0 to get many advantageous features, security enhancements, and API updates. This release also includes an upgrade to Atlassian Data Center Platform 7, which improves the quality of our response to security vulnerabilities with reduced disruption and changes for Marketplace apps.
Check out the whole bucket of updates in Bitbucket 9.0 release notes.
Midway through this quarter, we’ll be adding new Data Center app scanners to our suite of scanners (Ecoscanner) that scans Data Center apps listed on the Marketplace.
Here is what we’ll be scanning for:
Use of hardcoded secrets in Marketplace Data Center apps
Potential malware in Marketplace Data Center apps
To expand on this, the new DC app scanners will include:
Secret scanner: The new secret scanner will look for any hard-coded secrets in DC apps that could potentially pose a security risk if exposed. We engineered the scanner to detect secrets and manage potential security risks, ensuring that customer data remains protected from unauthorized access.
Malware scanner: Atlassian has implemented a robust malware scanning system for all Data Center applications in the Marketplace. This scan aims to identify and mitigate potential malware threats, thereby enhancing the security and integrity of our DC applications.
If a risk is detected: Atlassian will alert the app developer so they may investigate. If there is a critical risk, we recommend that Marketplace Partners notify customers.
We won’t begin issuing these new tickets to partners at this time; this is a preliminary announcement and an opportunity for partners to prepare. Atlassian plans on issuing tickets after August 15th 2024 via the AMS Jira project.
We are committed to working collaboratively with partners to continue improving the security of our Marketplace and fostering trust with our customers.
Partners with Partner Portal access can view the announcement in the Partner Portal blog.

We are updating the Atlassian Security Bug Fix Policy. Changes will take effect across all Data Center products on March 15, 2024.
Previously, we delivered bug fix releases for any supported Long Term Support release in accordance with the Atlassian Support End-of-Life Policy, and for all product versions that are no older than 6 months.
With our new policy, we will continue to deliver a bug fix release for any supported Long Term Support release in accordance with the Atlassian Support End-of-Life Policy, but we are updating our policy to only support the most recently shipped feature release.
In the event of a critical vulnerability, we will take all of the following steps:
Ship a bug fix for the latest feature release of the product affected by the vulnerability.
Ship a new feature release for the affected product according to the release schedule.
Ship a bug fix release for all supported Long Term Support releases of the affected product, adhering to the Atlassian Support End of Life Policy.
We aim to develop the most effective methods for enhancing the security of our software and delivering updates faster and more frequently. When considering an upgrade, you can be sure that the latest feature release is the most secure and stable product version as it contains the most up-to-date security fixes and feature enhancements.
If you have any concerns or if you require clarification on any aspect of the updated bug fix policy, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team.
Find more details of the new process at Announcement: Planned changes to the Security Bug Fix Policy.
Bitbucket Data Center 8.18 is available for upgrade! This release enhances the application’s security and optimizes collaboration on code with draft pull requests and quick adds for suggested reviewers.
